Salsa Dance Class

Salsa is a popular dance form that can be traced back in the 50s-70s. Its moves primarily have its roots on Cuban and Latin music, which make it the salsa we know today.

Basically, salsa follows an 8-beat rhythm, were performers move on the first 3 beats, halt for one beat, dance again on another 3 beats and halt again on the last beat. Also, the dance moves salsa has usually involve left-right-left-halt movements, while maintaining subtle but passionate choreography and emotion.

However, it is essential for you to wear smooth, salsa shoes. That’s the most important thing you should have every time you come to class.

Women can wear flat shoes or heels (as long as they’re not too high and thin). On the other hand, men can wear basic dance shoes or even footwear you always pair with a formal suit.
